Trinity Primary School 
Mental Health Support
The well-being of our whole community is important to us and we are pleased to share the following opportunities and resources which are available through school.
We follow a Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) Scheme with the children called 'Jigsaw'. This has a strong Mindfulness emphasis - please see Curriculum Tab, PSHE for further information.
Miss Gemma Measures, our Learning Mentor is in school daily with dedicated time on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, to support children with their well-being.
Our SENCO, Mrs Stanforth is Thrive trained and is available to support children and provide relevant advice for staff.
For more information on how we support Parents/Carers, please see Parent & Carer Tab and choose Oasis.
Key events to promote Mental Health Support
Odd Sock Day is a fun event where everyone wears mismatched socks to celebrate the fact that we are all unique. We took part in school to help raise awareness of anti‑bullying and to remind pupils that it’s okay to be different. By proudly wearing odd socks, we encouraged kindness, acceptance, and celebrating what makes each of us special.
Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP)
The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is here to help your school to develop ways to look after the mental health of its students, staff, parents and carers. Our EMHPs do this by supporting your school to understand what you need, providing staff training and offering lessons on well-being. EMHPs are also trained to give 1-1 support to students on anxiety, low mood and other struggles with wellbeing.
Our EMHP, Ellie, (from the Mental Health Support Team) works in Trinity Primary School once a week, on a Tuesday.
Their logo is an otter because, like otters, EMHPs work as part of a team and they use tools! Some of their favourite tools are self-care, challenging negative thoughts, problem solving and managing worries. They share these tools with you so that you can look after your own wellbeing and build your resilience.
Information for Parents/Carers
Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) were established to support schools, helping them develop ways to look after the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people (CYP) as well as the wider school community, including school staff and parents/carers. The MHST are now delivering online sessions which are free to sign up to. Please scan the QR code below to register for our next webinar.
